====Silver====
I was really bad at being a Junior Member. I enjoyed getting to know many of the people who joined around the same time as me. We've defintiely stuck together a bit. However, I prefer to be a Senior Member. I don't think I was mistreated, or anything like that. I really did have a good time. I'm just not good at being subservient to anyone. However, I advise all current JMs who might feel the same way to fake it. Don't be a snot just because you have to call someone so-and-so Sedai or Gaidin.

;Why did you choose Green?

===Other Tower Relationships===
Because I know myself very well. I'm a strong b*tch. I'm assertive, passionnate, and smart. I'm a fighter, not a giver-upper. Yes, a lot of people have difficult things in their life that they must fight through, but that doesn't automatically make them Green. It's when that fighting bit is one of your strongest characteristics that you're Green. I don't like to do things that I'm not excited or passionnate about, but I'll do them if I have to. And, lastly, the Green Ajah is a great group of ladies and I felt (and still feel) that I fit in extremely well with them. Oh, and men? Greens appreciate that men and women are different. Greens find men to be wonderful and capable partners. We don't want to sleep with all of them, however.

I am exactly like most Greens in the books. I'm mercurial, tempermental, haughty, bold, outgoing and perhaps less fastiduous (spelling?) then women from other Ajahs.

Well, yes and no. I like to party when I'm with the people I love best. I don't like to party every night, or even every weekend. I do love men. They're wonderful, as a whole. However, there's only one man I want to sleep with. Sorry, guys. :P I happen to adore fashion and makeup, but those aren't my first priorities. My dream job is to show people how badly they dress and fix them. I am guilty of being a fashion bum on occasion, though.

=={{greenheader2}} Tower Sworn Interview==
  
;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
+
'''Why did you choose Green?'''
I'm unbonded.
 
  
 +
It just felt right.  There was no guesting program when I was coming up through the Tower, so choosing an Ajah was much different.  Luckily, I knew myself well enough to choose wisely.
  
;What things do you do for TV.net?
+
'''Are you like the Greens in the books? Do you like to have fun with men? Are you a fierce warrior?'''
I try to help out where I can. I've contributed Library articles. I've welcomed newbies. I answer a lot of questions for people. I try to make sure that I am a knowledgeable member of this community, so that I can answer questions accurately.
 
  
 +
I definitely fit the profile.  I never got the idea that the Greens in the books were necessarily promiscuous.  It was more that they were more accepting of many lifestyles, and perhaps because of their warrior mentality; more aware that life can be short.
 +
 +
'''Do you have a favorite Green Ajah character from the novels?'''
  
;How did you get to read the Series?
+
I like the group as a whole more than I like individual characters in the Ajah. There are some things about Cadsuane I like, but there are other things about Greens like Myrelle and Alanna that I prefer.
My evil college roommate got me into them. I honestly think that was the only nice thing she ever did for me.
 
  
 +
'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
  
;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
+
I started reading Eye of the World in 1999, so since then.  I was a junior at the University of Michigan, and needed something fun to read. For some reason, I didn't get much schoolwork done during my first read of the then-eight book series.
I was mentoring Aavyn, Accepted of the Gray Ajah for a bit. However, she's now found her Ajah and I'm ready for a new one.
 
  
 +
'''How did you first get into the series?'''
  
;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
+
My evil college roommate recommended it to me. I think that's the only good memory I have of her.
My favorite character is Nynaeve because I see a lot of me in her. I'm just not that extreme! My favorite nation is Saldaea. I admire their boldness and admiration for various skills, such as being a warrior and a poet or musician. I think they are a true renaissance people, to tell you the truth. I wouldn't mind living there.
 
  
 +
'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''
  
;Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)
+
Probably Mat, but it took a few books for that to happen. I also have had a lot of love for Nynaeve and Moiraine from the beginning. I never warmed up to Egwene until the past couple of books, though.
I've been to many RL functions. I love them to a point. They're wonderful parties and I always enjoy myself, but I'm always happy to go home afterwards. I like getting to see friends that I rarely get to see, due to long distances. People should come because I like people better in RL. People who annoy me on the site sometimes surprise me in RL. At parties, I don't really care about the schedule of events, or contests, or whatever entertainment is provided. I just want to hang out with my friends.
 
  
 +
'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
  
;What kind of music do you like?
+
Lanfear. I like her rebellious attitude.
I listen to all kinds of music, mostly rock. However, I also like Hip Hop and 80s music.
 
  
 +
'''Favorite book and scene?'''
  
;What are your favorite movies?
+
I have so many, I could never pick.
Casablanca is my favorite movie. Although I love all kinds of movies, they don't make them like they used to.
 
  
 +
'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
  
;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
+
Definitely an Aes Sedai.  The White Tower scenes are some of my favorite in the series.
I've done many stupid things. However, I have a reputation to maintain. If you catch me doing something stupid, fine. But, if you don't see me, you don't get to know unless I know you very well.
 
  
 +
'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?'''
  
;What job do you have?
+
I think I found the site on a random WoT Google search in 2004. I stayed for two reasons.  The first being that I have always wanted to be an Aes Sedai since I first read the series.  The second being that the people here are awesome.
I'm currently unemployed, but I'm looking for a job in market research, preferably automotive. I'm looking in other areas, like health care and media, too, though.
 
  
 +
'''What do you do in "real life"?'''
  
;Do you have a pet?
+
I'm a restaurant server, but I'm trying not to be one anymore.
Yes, I have a cat named Shay. He looks like a cow and is a big mama's boy.
 
  
 +
'''Do you have any hobbies?'''
  
;What languages do you speak?
+
I enjoy watching sports, especially football and hockey.  I obviously like reading.  I relax by doing crossword puzzles.  I love beer, wine and food.  I'm a big history nerd.  Mostly, I just like spending time with people I like.
I speak English and a little French.
 
  
 +
'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''
  
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
+
I don't really listen to new music at all anymore, because it's lame and boring. I love classic rock and punk music.
I wanted to be a teacher. Lord knows why.
 
  
 +
'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''
  
;Elayne or Cadsuane?
+
I enjoy adventure movies like the original Star Wars trilogy and Raiders of the Lost Ark.  My favorite TV shows are How I Met Your Mother, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Criminal Minds, and Game of Thrones.
Cadsuane, definitely.
 
  
 +
'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''
  
;Aiel or Atha'an Miere?
+
I just read the Hunger Game series, and I couldn't put it down.  I love everything I've read so far by Brandon Sanderson.  I also like random good books like The Historian and The Secret History.
Aiel!
 
  
 +
'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''
  
;Winter or summer?
+
I wanted to be a teacher. I think I would probably have been fired for slapping children if I had, though
I like Fall best.
